See the Salmon

It is Salmon SEEson! Adult salmon are making their trip from saltwater to our local streams to spawn. With luck, patience, and good timing, you can watch this amazing Pacific Northwest ritual. The trestle over the Sammamish River on the Redmond Central Connector is a great viewpoint.

Plan one last frolic for your furry friend at the 2023 pop-up dog park at Luke McRedmond before it closes on Monday, Oct. 2. Creating temporary spaces like this allows the City to test different potential locations and needs for a more permanent off-leash dog area. Provide your feedback and thoughts to help inform future pop-up dog parks.

Participate in National Walk to School Day

School is underway, and next month, we will celebrate National Walk to School Day on Oct. 4. Redmond SchoolPool is partnering with local elementary schools to celebrate by promoting safe pedestrian habits throughout the month of October. The Redmond SchoolPool Program encourages students and their families to leave the car behind when traveling to their neighborhood school in October and May.

Improve Intersection Visibility

Intersection visibility is essential for pedestrian and vehicle safety and is required by law. If you live on a corner, it is your responsibility to cut back bushes and trees to ensure clear sight lines of pedestrians and vehicles. The area should be clear from 18 inches to seven feet high and checked several times a year to ensure compliance.

Help Conserve Water

After an unusually dry summer, Redmond, in partnership with Seattle Public Utility and Cascade Water Alliance, will work together to save and stretch our water supply. Sixty percent of Redmond’s drinking water comes from the Tolt River Reservoir, and until we get enough fall rain to keep people and fish healthy, we should all do what we can to save. The City of Redmond will reduce the water we use for city operations by draining decorative fountains and moving early to our winter watering schedule.
